Yesterday, we saw the doctor and we had been hopeful up through Wednesday that the steroids would be stopped. But, things changed Thursday. His rash looks pretty good, but, Michael's appetite decreased a lot. The doctor thinks it could be the GI (gastrointestinal) GVHD, which would mean more steroids. Michael thinks it could be the Taco Bell he ate. So we are in a holding pattern with the steroids. We are to see what happens over the weekend. Today, Michael's appetite is better, a good sign, so we will have to just wait.
Michael and I agree it is like being on a huge roller coaster, and there are twists and turns ahead, but we're hoping that we've made it through the biggest of the dives and bends.
Our prayer requests for Michael are for the GVHD to resolve, no infections or complications, and to remain in remission.
Thanks for continuing this sometimes bumpy ride with us and thank you all for your prayers.
Happy Mother's Day to Brenda!
ReplyDeleteMichael...this week will be a better week. Hang on...you really have been on a roller coaster ride! I pray that the worst is behind you, and that each day you will feel better and stronger.
God bless the both of you,
Arizona Cousin Donna
